With time it becomes not only habit, but it will easily develop to become an addiction which will ruin the person’s health slowly and could cause death. But we have to respect other people privacy in public places. A lot of people find it cool to smoke in public places, but it’s not really any cool because it annoys other people, and it’s disturbing to non smokers. The smell of cigarettes is disgusting and very annoying to non-smokers, but it’s not only the smell, other people will be obligated to respire the smell which could cause serious sickness like cancer or breathing problems. Analysis has proved that lifelong non-smokers with partners who smoke in the home have 20-30% greater risk of lung cancer than non-smokers who live with non-smokers.

Smoking in PublicPlacesSmoking has been around in our history for longer than we can imagine. It used to be a status symbol and a power stick. A cigarette in ones hand was a gesture of intimidation to others. Movies have always shown the protagonist smoking away while they deal with something important. Even in real life, ask a smoker, they would say that smoking helps them clear the clutter in their mind and calms them down. However, a non-smoker would easily brush it off their shoulder by saying "It's all in the head". Well, which side is right, and which side is wrong? The ones who reckon smoking as a social evil will embrace the smoking ban with all they have, to save the big picture of the earth being healthy. However, smokers, will simply put it off, and find another way to smoke. They know the health hazards it causes, as they still choose to smoke, and so do you think a ban will stop them?
A smoking ban is a controversial subject. Those who do not smoke, and have never smoked, often feel like there is no reason not to have a publicsmoking ban. Smokers, however, feel like it is a personal right to be able to smoke in public, and the smoking ban issue is important and personal for them. While this might seem like a new issue, this disagreement...

Topic: Some business now says that no one can smoke cigarettes in any of their offices. Some governments have banned smoking in all publicplaces.
Have you ever been in a restaurant eating your favourite food, then just when you are about to take a bite, you inhale a cloud of smoke coming from the nearby smoking section? This has been a complaint from many non-smoking restaurant goers. While it is true that smoking cigarettes and breathing them in causes many health problems, is it fair to of take the freedom those Americans who want to smoke and enjoy their meal? This topic is very debatable and in many cases has reached compromises, but I would stand by the argument that smoking should be banned from all public areas because the unfiltered smoke is getting into the lungs of bystanders who do not smoke, and causing some major health problems, and in many cases death. The governments must ban the sales of tobacco products.

You are harming other people while you smoke around them. There is no need of risking
your life for one little cigarette. The whole idea of people letting smoke in publicplaces
and endangering other people’s health is foolish and cannot be supported by any
evidence. It is not right for smokers to be endangering someone else’s life and getting
away with it.
Smoking should be stopped because it wastes a lot of money, and is very addictive. Also,
it is bad for the smoker’s health to smoke tobacco because of the very bad chemicals in
the tobacco. Smoking is not right and we should all quit before we get a bad habit of it.
The numbers of smokers are not declining only increasing.
When I say that smoking is bad for everyone, I mean everyone including people who do
not smoke. Children are more in a risk to get asthma by consuming the smoke of a...

...the knowledge of how unhealthy smoking can be, people still choose to smoke. It is a personal choice and a highly addictive habit. Smokers choose to subject themselves to the health risks of smoking. It is not for the government or any third party to dictate whether or not a person should be allowed to smoke. However, smoking does not only affect the smoker negatively. It also affects all the people around those who smoke because when people smoke in pubic the smoke travels everywhere through the air, and the negative effects of this smoke affects all living, breathing creatures. Therefore smoking should be banned in all publicplaces.
People who smoke in public portray a bad example. Children are easily influenced in their growing stages. They imitate the people around them because they cannot differentiate between right and wrong. Therefore they perceive the actions they see around them as the way things should be. Besides that, teenagers who see people smoke in public take it as precedent to start smoking as well. There is a saying that goes “monkey see monkey do,” which tells us that people imitate the actions of others as they see it in their daily lives. Teenagers happen to think that smoking makes a person “cool.” When they see adults doing it on the streets it strengthens their belief in the “coolness” of...
